Subject: firewire: net: fix unexpected release of object for asynchronous request packet

From: Takashi Sakamoto <o-takashi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f7dcc5e33c1e4b0d278a30f7d2f0c9a63d7b40ca upstream.

The lifetime of object for asynchronous request packet is now maintained
by reference counting, while current implementation of firewire-net
releases the passed object in the handler.

This commit fixes the bug.
